My therapy part 1

With life so crazy, crafting is my therapy!

I always have a running list of crafts that I would like to make. This tag blanket has been on my list for a few years and I finally sat down to make it this past week. This was super easy and is one of Capri's favorite toys. I will do a tutorial soon on how easy it is to make.

I did this blanket a little different. Of course I did tags all around it with different ribbon for texture and then I also added snaps to four ribbons so I could attach toys. I like the snap idea so I can change out the toys as Capri gets bored with the current ones. I also added a pocket for a small board book or toy. I made this blanket small enough it can go in the car with us or in my diaper bag.

Then I made some baby sandals. The pictures do not do these justice. They are way cute. Since they were my first pair there are some things I would do differently but I still love them.

Its hard to tell but there is a cut out for the toes and a strap on the heel.

OH MY GOSH THOSE ARE AMAZING!! I HAVE to come over to learn to sew, even a square will make me happy at this point. I love the blanket and I fully give you permission to make a froo-froo pinky girlie one if I ever have a girl...and the shoes...to die for! Good work lady! I love it all.

I have the best job in the whole world! I'm a mommy... I have birthed three amazing, sassy, BUSY, little girls. I have gained two wonderful kids, one boy and one girl. That makes five kids under one roof!
I love being a mommy, let me say that again, I LOVE being a mommy. I also love making crafts, sewing, reading, being out doors, learning, and just having fun!
